Celebrating your successes and
sitting with you in the messes of marriage
Hi! We're Dr. Don and Renee,
....We’re the “all-in” type of people - we celebrate your successes and sit with you in your messes.
We create space and invite relationships into a posture and practice that helps them develop and grow.
We believe there is a good way to do marriage, and aren’t afraid of the messes (not even yours!) We find JOY in helping people discover who they are and the great design God has put inside of them. We keep it real and teach with transparency and vulnerability by inviting people into our lives as we work through the messiness together.
We do this by modeling, teaching, creating tools, and using resources that encourage and equip people to do life together in an authentic, intimate and sustainable way.
Don has his Doctoral Degree in Counseling Psychology and is the owner of True North Consulting. Renee is a Spiritual Coach and has a heart for developing people and cultures. She is a retreat speaker and mentor to men and women in leadership positions. Together, they have four adult children whom they like and love.
about
We provide a specific assessment that is designed to give you a peek into your child's personality. Through our assessment, you can learn how your child prefers to process information, how they make decisions and which life situations they will struggle with or thrive in. We believe that when applied to everyday parenting, understanding these preferences can revolutionize how you communicate and interact with your child.

We also provide real life tools to help moms and dads better parent their child and know how to best handle any given situation in a way that will make their child feel accepted, known and loved.
Lastly, we are a community of parents just like you. We want to bring together other like-minded parents that are simply doing their best trudging through the misunderstandings and messiness of parenting.

Do you need help getting back on the same team? Marriage is a team sport - there are no individual winners, only contributors. Just like any team, you have to figure out how to cooperate with each other.
